Chelsea entertain Ipswich Town in the Premier League this weekend as the Blues’ pursuit of a top-five finish continues.
Enzo Maresca’s side are battling for Champions League football next season, with the news that England will be allocated an additional place in next season’s competition a huge boost to the teams in the chase.
Chelsea recorded a comfortable first-leg win in their Europa Conference League quarter-final at Legia Warsaw on Thursday night. Goals from Tyrique George and Noni Madueke (2) secured a healthy advantage to take back to Stamford Bridge.
